Playing career

edit

Reiter played for Tatran Prešov (1996–99) and MŠK Žilina (1999–2002) in his native Slovakia and then for Sigma Olomouc (2001–05) and Slavia Prague (2007) in the Czech Republic. He scored 15 goals in the 2003-04 season, finishing among the Czech league's top scorers. In 2005, he came to Major League Soccer and the Chicago Fire. However, his season with the Fire was a disappointment, as he only scored three goals and left MLS to go back to his native Slovakia.

At the time of his signing by the Fire, Reiter was a current Slovak international, a rarity for European players in MLS. He had been capped 25 times for his country, scoring eight goals. Reiter was a regular during Slovakia's 2006 World Cup qualification campaign.
